God brought you into his family; now what? Today we dive into the book of 1 Peter to look at what being Christian means to our everyday lives. Title: Royal Priesthood Text: 1 Peter 2:9-12 Speaker: Riley Smith

What do people see when they look at Christians? In 1 Peter 2, we're reminded that Jesus is the Living Stone and that we are being built together into God's spiritual house as a holy priesthood. This message challenges us to stop asking, "Will people reject me?" and instead ask, "When people encounter me, will they encounter Jesus?" Message: Living Stones Speaker: Jordan Carter Passage: 1 Peter 2:2-8

What makes someone unmistakably Christian? Jesus said it’s not a symbol, a habit, or a label—it’s love. In this message from 1 Peter, we explore how the gospel creates the kind of sincere, sacrificial love that marks true disciples of Christ, even when relationships are difficult. Discover how an eternal perspective, a deeper understanding of God’s grace, and a growing hunger for His Word empower us to put away division, embrace authentic community, and love others the way Jesus loves us.

Why is it so hard to stand out from the crowd? While the world pressures us to conform, God calls us to be holy—set apart for Him. This message explores four motivations for living a holy life: we are God’s children, we know better through His Word, we will give an account to Christ, and we have been redeemed by His precious blood. As followers of Jesus, we are called to set our hope fully on Him, resist the pull of the world, and live ready for His return. Title: Holiness Text: 1 Peter 1:13-21 Speaker: Josh Branham

What do you do when life gets hard? In this message, we explore how believers can rejoice through trials—not by ignoring pain, but by holding onto the living hope found in Jesus. Discover four gifts God gives us in suffering: His purpose, presence, plans, and people. No matter what season you’re in, tested faith can lead to lasting joy and deeper trust in Christ. Title: Tested Faith Text: 1 Peter 1:6-12 Speaker: Josh Branham

In a world where following Jesus feels increasingly countercultural, Peter reminds us that we are “elect exiles”—chosen by God, set apart by the Spirit, and sent into the world with a living hope. This message explores what it means to experience “kingdom culture shock” as Christians in a shifting culture, and how Peter calls believers to neither retreat from the world nor conform to it, but to live faithfully as citizens of heaven. Through the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading—a living hope that sustains us through rejection, suffering, and uncertainty. Title: Living Hope Text: 1 Peter 1:1-5 Speaker: Josh Branham

Peter thought his failure had disqualified him for good. But beside a charcoal fire on the shore of Galilee, Jesus met him in his shame, restored their relationship, and called him forward again. Restoration begins when we stop pretending, return to our first love, and discover that Jesus is not finished with us yet. Title: Anchored | Restoration Series: Anchored Text: John 21:1-19 Speaker: Andrew Branham

Who is Jesus, really? As the disciples wrestle with cultural opinions and personal experiences, Peter boldly declares that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God—revealing both His identity as Savior King and God in the flesh. This sermon explores why that confession changes everything, how Jesus is building His unstoppable Church, and what it truly means to follow Him—not just in belief, but in surrender. Whether you’re investigating faith or deepening it, this teaching invites you to know the real Jesus, count the cost of discipleship, and discover the eternal life only He can give.
